Duh, you are an Englishman. Took me a minute b/c I'm sitting here in the USA. What an interesting question! I'm glad to have gotten away from Enland via my family of which must've come on the Mayflower. I feel rather shitty about what we did to the American Indians, and African Americans...
I have a very English family name. I love ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, and I just watched - for the 1st time - MONTY PYTHON & THE HOLY GRAIL. Hysterical!!! While I'm not crazy about the queen and all that goes with England, I just love English humor.
Though, more serious movies and such that I watch about the English make them out to be "quite haughty!" :-) But they do rock n' roll quite well...
Answered off track, sorry. I'm an American and I'm so tired of being politically correct that I could scream. I feel as if I live more in Mexico, India and Asia - you'd understand if you lived in my area. I am a minority, sadly, and I miss our culture. I miss being able to talk to my neighbors in English - the queens or anybody's!

Tricky question to answer, its so difficult these days to say anything about nationality or rac or patriotism without sounding like a racist or nationalist!
This is my country still, sure there are many outsiders who live here now, but I still call it home! When the flag flies I remember that which matters most; we have NHS, freedom of speech, Crown Prosecution Service, and many other things to make sure we get treated as individuals and fairly, I will only start to worry when we dont have these things!
I love England, sure we have our problems, but would you rather be in Iran?

NO this government has destroyed the BRITISH SPIRIT. The public now roll over with their legs in the air instead of telling the government and all their non productive empire (eg health and safety zealots who try to outdo each other with stupid ideas... children need protective clothing to play conkers but H&S dont have the guts to skulk around in battle zones looking for infringements) to osd off. Human rights . . not sure, then ask an illlegal they have all the answers. Come back Oliver Cromwell all is forgiven. Peter (Moving to Germany ASP)

If you trace your ancestry then the chances are England never was your country. Think about it. Over the last 2000 n odd years we've been invaded by The Romans, The Vikings and The Normans to name but three. You might be british at birth but it doesn't necessarilly mean your a true Brit.

Emotionally, yes, but I see it being taken from us by unpatriotic career minded politicians who don't believe in the 'Nation State'. They are determined to build a left wing totalitarian regime capable of taking on America, and to achieve this, they are quite prepared to subvert nearly every country in Europe.

We must not let the government and others take our country away from us, it is up to us to fight for it.

Yes, absolutely. One of the things that makes the UK special is its willingness to invite and embrace others willing to play their part in its development. Take a tube trip in central London and you will see more nationalities and hear more languages than most other international cities. England is a cosmopolitan, sophisticated country that gets the balance more right than most. And anyone who respects our customs and beliefs, and contributes to our communities in a legal way, is welcome here and over time can call England their country too.
Despite being born in England, I was raised in Scotland and consider myself of Scottish origin. I've lived in England for nearly 30 years apart from 4 years living and working in Spain, and 6 months in the US. My kids consider themselves English, despite being born in Spain, and they are proud to call themselves that.
Stop the cynical replies and consider the question properly!
